Maska (Hazara tribe)
The Maska are a tribe of the Hazara people in Afghanistan and neighboring countries. Maska is a sub-tribe of the Jaghori tribe of Hazaras in Afghanistan.
Origin
[edit]For a long time ago Maska and Babah were twin brothers and according to an old myth, they were separated by knife. In Afghanistan, their ancestral place is Sange-e-Masha in the Jaghori District of Ghazni Province.[1] The Maska are known for practicing endogamy and not marrying outside their tribe, which leads to the Maska retaining Asian facial features more than other tribes.
